Deck overview

This deck is a specialized Golgari aggressive midrange deck helmed by Aveline de Grandpré. Its primary game plan centers on deploying low-mana deathtouch creatures that double their power with +1/+1 counters each time they connect with an opponent's life total. Backed by counter doublers like Branching Evolution and Innkeeper's Talent, early utility attackers quickly balloon into lethal game-ending monsters. Secondary win conditions such as Fynn, the Fangbearer convert deathtouch damage into rapid poison kills, while Unstoppable Slasher halves life totals on hit. The deck features reliable mid-curve ramp and repeatable combat-based card draw through creatures like Toski, Bearer of Secrets and Ohran Frostfang. Its chief limitations lie in its reliance on the combat step: lacking mass haste or infinite combos, it must attack over multiple turn cycles, leaving it exposed to well-timed board wipes and token chump blocks unless trample enablers like Garruk's Uprising are present.
